Anyone been to Russia here?

I want to attend the World Cup there but I'm concerned about racism / getting shanked by skinheads

the coli is sheltered and doesnt go anywhere. Most replies will be about getting shanked even tho the poster may have never been. Good luck but take advice here with a grain of salt

Tommy Knocks posts good stuff about Asia. I've been to Asia and a lot of Europe but never Russia. I haven't experienced significant racism when traveling but Russia is on some different shyt so i figured I'd ask the coli

moscow and republic of adygea

im pretty sure nothing will happen for the world cup, its going to be under lock and key like sochi was

I've never been but i've done research. I heard russia is pretty bad, but if you stick to certain parts you'll be okay. TBH i might not even go cuz any sporting even is gonna attract all kinds of drunk idiots, and dealing with russian authorities just isn't something that sounds appealing to me.

But if you have the cash/connects don't let that stop you. If you go i do suggest having a big group with you though to deter any wannabe tough guys.

cant be all that intolerable as outsiders Americans make it seem to be. How u think #13 got made?

 

[H@LLOW]

Putin will be putting that work, so you be good

They openly don't want brown skinned people in their soccer clubs. No thanks. Those people are like the primal whites they don't given give a fukk about one another so how the hell am I going to be safe walking down the street unless I go with 30 white friends and stand in the middle of them. Why subject myself to open racism? So I can be mad the whole trip and then Be mad I wasted thousands when I get home? I don't understand people who visit openly racist counties. Why even acknowledge those asshats.

That D-12 story I believe it was them or someone from music mention how they were chased by skinheads out there. I believe I am wrong it might not be D-12.

By far the most racist region on earth

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Skinheads and white nationalists be running rampant out there. Personally I have no desire to go to Russia at all. shyt's for cacs and nothing but cacs.

Atleast they slightly tolerate your black ass in other Western European countries...there? They'll f*cking kill you if you get too comfortable...

russians dont fukk around......they got the same mentality that hood ppl got....they arent passive aggressive whites...theyll confront u....they dont fukk with blacks period

 

[humble forever]

russians are racist as fukk, that's the fact period. they are totally willing to get violent with you, and over in russia there aren't gone be many non whites to save your ass

Of course, the level of hate in Russian society goes far beyond gay- and trans- bashing. Russian white supremacists – who reportedly are all over Russia’s second-largest city, St. Petersburg – have been branching out their attacks to include migrant workers of late. And Spectrum Human Rights shares a press release from Russia’s “Coalition Against Hate” that says that on April 22, 2012, white supremacists organized an action in which they stormed Moscow subway cars and beat up anyone perceived to be ethnic:

On April 22 a so called “white train car” action (organized beatings of all people with non-Slavic appearance in suburban trains, as well as those passengers who tried to stand up for them) in the trains Moscow-Tver, Moscow-Klin, Moscow-Konakovo.
